Great find among a sea of restaurants and shops. Restaurant is very clean sand very spacious. Staff are kind and patient as we browsed through their long menu. Pupusas were good (I tend to be very selective on my pupusas) but the tacos were really tasty! The green salsa and pico de gallo were spicy and flavorful. The meat was very tender that even my baby was able to nib on. The drink portions were very generous. Affordable prices. Overall, I would recommend! I plan on returning to eat more tacos and try different items on the menu. read more

I ordered from here again got the beef soup. But the beef was way overcooked and very chewy and I did not like it at all. I will not be ordering from here again, but the service was great. read more

The Restuarant is very spacious. Great place to go with family or friends. The service was also good, the server was attentive & brought our drinks right away so that was great. The pollo asada was delicious. The flavor was so good, I truly couldn't stop eating it. The tortillas were fresh and warm. We ordered carne asada,pupusas, and a chicken quesadilla and they all tasted good! They have karaoke nights as well. read more

La Fe Restaurant And Pupuseria - Pollo Asado - Salvadoran Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

On a whim, we saw a papusa sign at La Fe and decided WTH, let's give it a shot! We love revuelta papusas and are ever vigilant for the best papusa near Ashburn. I know...Ashburn is good for data centers but not great for restaurant diversity. La Fe has ample dine-in tables and you can even by some bling from the in-house merchant for your date after dinner! Let's get real...we ordered revuelta papusas, chicken tamale, and the chicken steak entree. The highlight was the chicken tamale, which I am not a tamale afficionado, but this was pretty damn tasty! The papusa were okay but unusually wet inside. I would suggest they change the cheese. The curtido (slaw) and the salsa roja were some of the best I have ever had with my papusa. My chicken steak was nicely seasoned and I like how they thinly slice the breast, but it was a little dry. The rice and beans were nicely seasoned, but I would have preferred black or pinto beans, but this is a El Salvadorian restaurant. The service is good and prompt. No alcohol, but that's what the Surgeon General recommends . Very reasonably priced. I think papusas and tacos are like $3, so definitely not a rip off. I'll be back for taco night! read more

BLUF: Best-tasting pupusas that I've had in the area & still at a great price! Good place for street tacos, too. Food is fresh & satisfying. Service is helpful, attentive, polite, and thoughtful and caring - very rare in this area. It's like walking into your family member's or best friend's home & everyone is happy to see you & feed you! It's not snazzy, but I'm never looking for snazzy. I'm looking for good...REALLY GOOD food. This unassuming low key strip mall restaurant checks the boxes. Whether you eat in or take out, you're sure to have a happy belly. I recommend eating in, of course. The food is much better hot & fresh than it is steaming up in a take-out container, but either way, I'm fairly confident you'll enjoy your reasonably priced meal. Good portions, too, and worth every penny you pay. I'm salivating & longing for more pupusas & tacos even as I write this review. That's my litmus for delish food. I haven't tried anything more than the tacos & pupusas, but I've watched other food come out of the kitchen & all looks fresh & yummy & good portions. I did say it's like walking into the home of someone who wants you to leave with a happy belly, didn't I? Try La Fe at least once. You'll see what I mean & I'm almost sure you'll leave at least satisfied if not totally pleased. read more

I've been here like twice maybe? I've gotten their pupusas and I've gotten their tacos de asada. Delicious ! This place is a chill spot to eat some food in a relaxed way with a friend or family. read more

Visited the area for the first time and wanted to try pupusas. We got the fried fish and a bunch of pupusas. The whole fried fish was super tasty, tender, and fresh. $18 is a total steal for a dish that would easy go for double the cost back home. The pupusas were amazing, especially the crazy pupusa with every topping and the loroco flower pupusas. The pupusas had the perfect balance of cheese and cornmeal and was not dry like pupusas I've had before. Service was great and the place was nice and spacious. read more

Disgusting! $19 for Sautéed Shrimp and I find a big hair Stuck in the dough of the Tortilla! One more reason why I do food prep at home most of the time. Watch out this place is lacking kitchen hygiene and a trip to the hospital for food poisoning is not worth it at all. read more

The food was amazing. Was in the mood for some Salvadorian and this was the closest place that popped up. I had my expectations low when trying a brand new place but it blew me away. The staff are really nice and the food is amazing, everything is perfectly seasoned and made fresh. It's become a regular spot for me at this point. The inside is simple but nice and it's very large so there's plenty of seating and have never had to wait to sit. If you're in the mood for some AMAZING Latin food. Go immediately read more

Between my friend and I, we ordered each kind of pupusa, a taco, and some plantains and EVERYTHING was incredibly delicious. We had absolutely no complaints, other than wishing we didn't get so full. The revueltas was my favorite of the pupusas but the taco was really good too. There was only one waiter when we arrived but he was very quick and easy going. The restaurant itself is large, has plenty of seating, and was overall super clean. It's one of those no-frills family places. read more

This was my first tome trying La Fe! We decided to take our food to go this time. The pupusas were really good, my only problem is they forgot my salsa curtido and I had only noticed when we got home. Pupusas are not the same without it but my friend was nice enough to share. The carne asada taco was just fine, nothing to rave about. The meat was neither juicy or dry but the green salsa was hot and delicious. We also tried the horchata but it seemed to be a powder mix so I would skip it next tome. The service here was good! Our cashier was very polite and packed up our food up quickly. The restaurant seemed clean and was decorated nicely with a ton of flowers for what I presume was for mother's day. I would definitely come back to try other menu items but make sure to check if everything is there if you plan to take your food to go! read more

Great food. Love this place. Every time I am working near, I make sure to go to la fe. I will continue to go.

Found this place by accident a few months ago. Now every time I come out this way I have to stop in and grab some chicken tacos. I always call ahead now since it is often busy. The chicken tacos is all I have tried. They are full of flavor, pulled chicken, cilantro, lettuce, radishes and pico on the side. read more

I have no clue what this venue was before becoming La Fe but it doesn't look like a restaurant at all. When you walk in, there's open tables everywhere (no booths) and you just grab a seat, then someone will be over to take your order. I believe this is a Salvadorian thing because when husband and I went to another Salvadorian spot, they did the same thing. We made the mistake of going to the counter to place our order, but that's only necessary with take-out. Together we ordered 3 pupusas, 6 tacos, 1 apple juice, and 1 coconut water coming to a total of $26 and that's cuz husband got a $4 shrimp taco. Tacos are simple, yet delicious coming with radishes, lime on the side, and salsa verde. I added the tableside hot sauce, but didn't read that it was habanero, so I set myself up for a mouth burning sensation. This gave me an excuse to drink his coconut water which was delicious (added sugars in it made it so tasty). My fave pupusa was the ayote (squash and cheese). It was sooooo good and the chicken taco was delicious as well. They obviously marinated the chicken in something because it was flavorful all by itself. We'll definitely be returning. read more

TL:DR Food is a solid 4, but the environment was not a a pleasant one for me (could have just been unlucky), so overall review is a 3 from me. If you go I suggest just grabbing take out. I've driven past this place many times and always wanted to give it a try since I love Pupusas. Going in I had no clue what to do so I just walked up and read the menu off the wall. Eventually a worker came up to me and helped me which I appreciated. I decided to dine in and ordered a horchata, 2 Pupusas (1 Bean and Cheese and 1 Ayote) and Costilla Asada (Grill Beef Ribs). The food came out relatively fast about 15-20 minutes. Food: The horchata was good, a bit thicker than what I am use too, but the flavor was delightful. The 2 Pupusas were really good, my favorite was definitely the Ayote one. As for the Costilla Asada I thought it was good, but for the price of 17$ I expected more than just 2 grilled beef ribs. There was plenty of other things that came with the beef ribs, but since it was mainly carbs, towards the end I was just eating just rice, beans and tortilla. Service: As for the service, it was great when I came in, since someone helped me, and there was someone cleaning the floors so I had the image this place was relatively clean. What bothered me was that as I was eating, they were just mopping in front of my table throughout most of the meal so as I was eating the food, I only smelled their cleaning chemicals which was not pleasant. In addition as I was done with my meal, no one came to help, so I just walked over to the cash register to pay (while this bothered me, since this was my first time here and there were just 4 staff members looking at me as I just walk towards the cash register, it could just be how they ran the business). As I got to the cash register one of the staff members helped me which I appreciated, but then they asked what I ordered. They didn't really know english so it was hard to describe what I ordered, besides pointing to the table I sat at, and trying to pronounce the dishes. Eventually one of the other staff members sitting down told them what I ordered. Which I thought was unusual since if I ordered shouldn't there be a note or ticket of what I got. So I would give their service about a 2.5 or 3 since the place was relatively empty, and it felt like they just serviced me till I ordered then I was on my own. Overall: For the food I would give it a solid 4, so if you decide to dine here, I highly recommend getting only take out. Since I was not a fan of the cleaning chemicals and service towards the end and would have had a more enjoyable time just eating in my car. read more

My friend and I came here after looking for a quick bite nearby, and I'd been wanting to try pupusas for a while so we came to La Fe! First and foremost, their prices are unbeatable. I ordered a tamale for $2 and a pupusa for $2.50, since I was expecting them to be quite small for that price, but it was more than enough food for me. I had the loroco & cheese pupusa which was really good with some hot sauce & the pickled veggies they give. The chicken tamale was not my favorite--it was very soggy and just not very appetizing. My friend's enjoyed her cheese quesadilla (which was also only $4) and it was also a good size. Even though I wasn't a fan of the tamale, for the prices they're offering, I would definitely love to come back and try more of their food if it's as good as the pupusa was. read more

What a gem! I took a chance on this restaurant while I was doing some shopping in the neighborhood and was so pleasantly surprised by the freshness and quality of the food! I got two pupusas, rice, and a tamale for $13 - unheard of in this region! Give them a try! I'll be back! read more

Horrible service. We ordered #25 empanada de platano and cashier Christy charged us for platano fritos and when we saw the receipt, we asked why we were charged for those instead. She said they don't have empanadas de platano when it's clearly on their menu. We're out $8.49 because we didn't eat nor want those. She could've at least told us before we paid that they didn't have it, but clearly had ill intentions. Take it off your menu if you don't have the item at all. We were also told we're unable to get a refund for it even though it was 100% her mistake. Manager better do something to fix this. read more

Good pupusas, rice, and beans! Whenever I am in the mood for pupusas, I go here. The pupusas are not greasy as some restaurants make them.

Been here a few times and I have been remiss to not leave a review. Super casual spot with delicious food. The pupusas are great and everything is homemade and fresh. Fantastic prices. I love the homemade corn tortillas, they make the tacos here really epic. read more

Average pupusas; not the best, not the worst. The food was good, but it didn't "wow" me. It's good enough to satisfying a craving but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. I went on a Tuesday afternoon around 1:45 and ordered take out. The place was clean, and even for that time of day they still had a pretty decent sized crowd, which seemed promising. It took about 10-15 minutes for the food to come out. I ordered a chicken taco and three different pupusas: ayote, revuelta, and loca.. all three pupusas had good flavor, but they could have used more filling or just less masa. The chicken taco was good. I really liked the curtido-- it has some heat to it which was a little different than other places in the area. I would return, but I would try something different next time. read more

Came in on a whim yesterday with my fiancé. Glad we did! Truly authentic food. The papusas are delicious, fresh, and the prices can't be beat. My fiancé also ordered a grilled chicken meal, and with our 4 papusas included it came out to a whopping $22. We will definitely be returning! read more

No one answered the phone so I placed a to go order at counter for tamales expecting a quick turnaround as they are pre-made. Ended up waiting 20 minutes because there were others waiting for their food to be made. It was hard to eat them in the car as they were still tightly wrapped in layers of ten foil. I didn't expect that because where I normally get tamales, they are served just in banana peel with any outer cover removed. So it is was messy opening up the tamales. Taste was good and there was a decent amount of chicken and potato in the chicken ones only thing is I bit down on a piece of unexpected bone and hope I didn't crack my filling. The sweet corn tamale was a disappointment. Dry. And I expected sour cream with it but it looked like they gave me a tiny bit of Luke warm Mayo as it had a tinge of yellow color. Because it was not cold, I was afraid to try the sauce. Staff had masks on but none of the customers did expect me. I am fully vaccinated but am concerned about the Delta variant. read more

I had a great lunch here. Definitely a place I will come back. The pupusa's were huge and filling. Two was just the right amount. I ordered the been and cheese and a cheese pupusa. Very flavorful and the sauce added a little spice/heat. I like the pickled veggies that were topped. The best part of course is the price. You can eat well for under $6. I would recommend this place. read more

I wanted to enjoy this place until they got my order 98% wrong. I wanted tacos and papusas and I got one taco and two things of rice... since I got delivery maybe it would be different if I ordered there, but the first order left a disappointing taste in my mouth because of the error. read more

Bad service and too expensive. They try to give me things that I didn't even ordered.

I didn't try their pupusas, which is what they are known for. I order a chicken tamale and a Salvadoran enchilada. Both worth ok. The tamale was wrapped in what seemed like yards of aluminum foil. The enchilada was made on top of a Salvadoran thick tortilla, which is weird because they should be on a thin chip like tortilla which is deep fried. I am not sure who the chef is but they missed the mark on the tamale and Salvadoran enchilada. read more

Best Salvadoran type of food in the area! You can never go wrong with their pupusas and tacos.

Pupusas are really good. My favorite are the revueltas and my husband beans and cheese. Very friendly service.

Pupusas are the best I've had in Northern Virginia. The loroco was on point. Plátanos were also cooked perfectly.

Pupusas are great! Better than most around here. New face salvadorean spot. Pupusas were meaty. Curtido was official. Horchata wasn't too sweet. Mar y tierra was well cooked. not skimping on the creams and cheeses. Worth every buck. Bout to order an empanada read more

A friend of mine asked me to try Salvadorian food. We did pick up. The food was too quick. Btw we order bean and cheese papuseria, chicken sandwiches(stuffing in a sandwich was different than the usual sandwiches I had). I taste so perfect. BUT I don't like the chicken tamale that we ordered maybe the way they make it differently because the stuffing was not so well. read more
